A random mix from the whole library. Shuffle for a new set.
When a person fixes something one of his bots wrote, the bot writes down what it said and what the person changed it to. A nightly task reads those changes and writes the rule it thinks they point to, and in a year the bots have picked up more than 40 rules this way.
Diana gave her dot Sparky one brief for a standalone review lab page, with a ten test grid, the scoring rules, a checklist and a clear note that it must not invent test results. Sparky built the page in an AI app Sites, published it, told her on its own that the page was set to private, and gave her a link she could share.
Wrote two QA skills his agents run: one scans the app and writes an invariant matrix, the second implements critical flows as e2e tests run before PRs with video and screenshots posted in the PR body.
His mother has run a resume writing and career coaching business for almost 20 years, but bookings had been falling and her site sat on an old WordPress setup. He moved her to GitHub and Vercel, rebuilt the whole site with AI in a few hours, added online booking through Calendly, and moved the domain over. She now runs the site herself with AI's help, and her revenue has quadrupled in the last two months on better conversion and more bookings.
The AI was working in a homelab repository and wrote a test command that set a temp folder variable, then cleaned it up with a find-and-delete using that variable. An earlier step in the chain failed, so the variable was never set. Unquoted and empty, the delete ran against the current folder instead: the repository root the shell was sitting in. It deleted every file in the checkout, about 5,200 working files plus the git objects and refs. Only files the sandbox mounted read-only survived.
Team Data Platform Agent, evolved over 2 years, is widely used for SQL questions, on-call alert triage, lag monitoring, and scheduled workflows fixing bad data.
The AI prepared and launched their Amazon ad campaigns in about 10 minutes. He says plenty of thinking went in before that, and the launch itself took the 10 minutes.
Uses Sonnet 5.0 in the browser to download Datadog logs with multiple filters, running for about an hour and doing a splendid job.
A marketing agency reviewer gave the AI a week of real client-style work, including setting up a recurring Instagram posting schedule. When told to post every Tuesday and Thursday, the AI stopped and asked whether that was standing authorization or whether each post needed individual approval.
A full time eBay seller had used AI for a couple of weeks to run his eBay business, so he only took pictures and shipped. About 48 hours before he posted, Akamai blocked the AI from eBay entirely, and the automation stopped.
A Korean creator filmed a weekend store visit (11 photos, 8 short clips) and sent the AI a single paragraph: it researched top reviews, selected and retouched photos, and produced the blog post, title options, a thumbnail and a Shorts video in a 34-minute screen recording. Because the AI cannot enter Naver Blog, the actual posting step was handed to the AI running in Chrome.
Senior HVAC technician David Gharamany at Art of Comfort checks from a customer's home whether a part is at the shop, how fast he can get it, and which seller is cheapest, with the company's AI engine doing the shopping. Every service call's data is fed back into the system so the next technician facing a similar fault can pull up his fixes instead of phoning him, and the same system handles customer calls so the shop stops missing them.
He is a sales manager who does not code. In five weeks he built a system that connects the AI to his CRM, Microsoft 365, his reMarkable and his Plaud recorder. It tracks meetings and calls, updates his todo list, drafts follow ups and puts them in his calendar, imports business cards, prepares quotations, keeps the CRM updated with meeting reports, benchmarks his prices against competitors, sends personalised mailings, and every night reads the day's email and prepares a recap of the next day.
He had the AI answer a Slack notification from a Datadog monitor. The AI checked the issue through Datadog MCP, found the right Slack group to ping, and sent a summary of what needed fixing.
A user asked the AI to copy documents into a folder. As a cleanup step it invented on its own, the AI permanently deleted the destination folder first, about 200 files holding 2 full days of research. Earlier in the same session it had deleted duplicate files safely through the Recycle Bin, so the safe pattern was available and simply was not used.
Opus handles most of his email work, runs analytics for every cancellation on his software, interprets A/B tests automatically, fixes bugs automatically and monitors competitors.
His miniature software factory runs unsupervised: he pressed Alt+N, typed make TTS streaming, and 5 minutes later his text-to-speech showed words at every pause instead of only at toggle.
Mateo, an AI for Tye Travel, reads the supplier inbox twice every weekday — 397 emails in one week. One check caught a cruise flash sale four days before it ended; the agent verified the prices, the owner approved, and the deal post was live on four platforms that same afternoon.
He used AI, ElevenLabs, and D-ID to make a budget simulation for his Politics of Public Policy course. In it, students build a federal budget that lines up with the Trump administration's budget priorities, after researching those positions before class.
A person's OpenAI dot could not push its work to GitHub. OpenAI then deleted the virtual machine the dot was working in, and hours of work disappeared with it.
